Multi-characterization protocols (DMA, DSC, FTIR, TMA) are essential in the development of new materials and formulation optimization. These protocols utilize different techniques to determine various properties of the material under investigation, including mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. DMA measures the dynamic mechanical properties of a material, DSC measures the heat flow and temperature changes that occur during thermal transitions, FTIR measures the absorption or transmission of infrared radiation by a material and provides information on its chemical composition and molecular structure. TMA measures the dimensional changes of a material as a function of temperature, pressure, or other environmental conditions. Using DMA, DSC, FTIR and TMA techniques in combination can provide a comprehensive understanding of the physical, thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties of a material, also valuable time and resources can be greatly saved through the combination of techniques. This information can be used to optimize the formulation of new materials, such as polymers, composites, adhesives, coatings, or films, for specific applications, such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, biomedical, or energy.
In this training, attendees will learn about comparative studies achieved through the utilization of various tools, enabling formulators to combine and match for optimal analysis. This will allow you to;
1. Efficient Resource Utilization: The training equips participants to maximize their time and resources effectively, leading to cost-saving benefits.
2. Material Properties Enhancement: Explore methods to optimize crucial material properties, including Tg, HDT, crystallinity, and more, to enhance product performance.
3. Problem Solving and Tool Selection: Attendees will grasp the skills needed to identify and resolve issues like polymer identification, contamination, and failure analysis, while also learning how to select the right tools for their applications.
4. Gain Valuable Knowledge: Attendees will learn about comparative studies using various tools, enhancing their expertise in material analysis and optimization.
